Virtual Users.....: pop3d-ssl: chdir No such file or directory

Hi I follow the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5)" and I getting the error:

Nov 9 14:48:41 x-apache pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[XXXXX]
Nov 9 14:48:41 x-apache pop3d-ssl: chdir XXXX.com/sales/: No such file or directory
Nov 9 14:48:44 x-apache pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[XXXXX]
Nov 9 14:48:44 x-apache pop3d-ssl: chdir XXXX.com/sales/: No such file or directory

any guess?

I bet 40% is something I mistype, 35% I just forget to type, 15% I overlooked and 10% is a real error.

Thanks
Alex.

 

Did you send an email to that user before you tried to fetch mails? Maildir is created when the first email for that user arrives.

 

I will send an email and let you know.
Thanks!
Alex.

 

I still have the same problem

I was able to send to the mailbox

# mail

But when I check the mailbox the mailog shows:

Nov 11 16:00:25 XXXX pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[XXXXX]
Nov 11 16:00:25 XXXX pop3d-ssl: chdir XXXXX.com/sales/: No such file or directory

The /home/vmail folder is empty, the permissions seems right

Your mail to sales has been delivered to root! Did you set up any forwarding rules? Is XXXX.com listed only in mydestination in /etc/postfix/main.cf, or also in the domains table in the MySQL database?

 

It's listed in the MySQL and main.cf (mydestination and myhostname)

Alex.

 

You cannot have a domain in mydestination that is in the domains table and vice versa.
If you want to use the domain for virtual email accounts, list it in the domains table; if you want to use it for "real" email accounts, put it in mydestination.

 

There must be a mydestination line in main.cf if you followed the tutorial (unless you deleted it afterwards).

What's the output of

Code:

postconf -d | grep mydestination

?

 

So you have aaa.bbb.com both in mydestination and in the domains table. You must remove it from one of them.

 

Use another hostname for your server. The ideal way would be to get a "technical domain", i.e. a domain that you don't use for web hosting, FTP, etc., but only for naming your servers. That's how I do it.

 

Hi,

Sorry to refloat this post. I'm having exactly the same problem nl0pat had. I tried to change the hostname and so on, but the problem still there.

Here's a copy of the error given by mail.log

And a copy of the "postconf -d | grep mydestination"

Maybe it is due to a step I didn't consider when following the howto. Anyway I have no installed Spamassasin, ClamAV...


Thanks in advance for your support.

 

Did you send a mail to that account first? Maildir is created automatically when the first email arrives.

 

I did, and now it works except for the SMTP server.

That's what my log says:

When I try to connect to SMTP server, I always receive a login error, and then the message above on the mail.log


Any suggestion??


Thanks in advance

 

Solved.

I had just to do this:

Thanks!
